Use the AI generate feature to create missing pixels that add bright sunlight. Adjust brightness and contrast for a natural sunny look.

Before listing a property online, especially if the current photo looks dull or overcast. It helps attract buyers by showing a bright, inviting space.

Match the lighting to existing objects and shadows in the photo. Use the 'Match Evening Mood' or 'Produce Creative Options' to guide the AI.

Relying only on AI-generated pixels without adjusting for shadows and lighting can make the result look fake. Fine-tune brightness afterward.

Photo editors often handle this during post-processing to improve listing photos, especially when quick turnaround is needed for online tours.

AI helps generate missing pixels fast but still needs manual tweaking for realism, like matching shadows and color tones. It’s a tool, not a complete solution.

Replacing the sky is a separate step, usually done first, to set the lighting. Generating the backyard involves filling in missing pixels to make the scene look sunny and natural.
